Jermaine Grant of the 1500 block of Washington and Bilal Gordon of the 600 block of Ferry Street were sent to Northampton County Court following their preliminary hearings this morning before District Judge Michael Koury Jr.Grant is charged with two counts each of possession of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. He was arrested Sept. 5 when police executed a search warrant on his Wilson Borough home.Gordon is charged with delivery of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, possession of a controlled substance and criminal use of a communication facility.Gordon is accused of selling heroin Aug. 14 to a source who was cooperating with police, court records said. He was arrested Sept. 5 along with Grant and 15 others who were believed to be involved in the heroin distribution operation, police said.Gordon was not arrested sooner because police were trying to protect their larger investigation into the accused dealers, Easton police Detective Tom Beiser testified today.Attorney Christopher Shipman represented both Grant and Gordon. Shipman presented no argument on Grant's charges, but argued the charges against Gordon should be dismissed.Shipman said because police did not witness the exchange of drugs between Gordon and their cooperating source, the evidence does not support the charges. Koury said he would have agreed, but a memo from Northampton County Court President Judge F.P. Kimberly McFadden said the hearsay evidence is admissible.
